A $30 million affordable housing project under construction in Minneapolis was burned to the ground in spectacular fashion during the Black Lives Matter riot on Wednesday night. "The six-story, 190-unit affordable housing project had been slated to open in the spring of 2021," Twin Cities Business reported on Thursday. "A city of Minneapolis worksheet on the project listed the total development cost at approximately $37 million, including contingency and reserve funds; land and construction costs were about $30 million." "David Wellington, executive vice president of Wellington Management, declined comment on Thursday morning." Here's the money shot: Watch the full video from AlphaNewsMN: Journalists from the Star Tribune appear to have gotten footage of the fire shortly after it was first set:

The AutoZone building also later went up in flames.
